NOTICE TO MASSACHUSETTS APPLIANCE DEALERS:
Be sure this document is included in all gas range appliances sold to consumers in
the State of Massachusetts.
NOTICE: Massachusetts law requires the following:
• Appliances must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas tter.
• Appliances must be connected with a three (3) foot (36” maximum length) exible
gas connector and
• A “T” handle type manual gas valve in the gas supply line to the appliance.
&
Have the dealer where you purchase your new range install it or have him
recommend a qualied installer. Installation must conform with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition in the U.S.A. or the CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2
Installation Codes in Canada.
The range should be connected to the supply line with 1/2-inch black iron pipe or
a certied exible type range connector. To prevent gas leaks, put an approved
sealing compound, which is resistant to liqueed petroleum gases, on all threaded
connections.
Important: Do not apply pressure directly to the range manifold pipe when
tightening supply connections. The manifold pipe should be held securely at the
pressure regulator to prevent twisting. Hold the pressure regulator with a wrench
during the tightening of the connection, or the manifold pipe may be twisted and
split, and cause a dangerous leak.
The installation of ranges designed for manufactured (mobile) home installation
must conform with the Manufactured Construction and Safety, Title 24 CFR, Part
3280, [formerly the Federal standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
Title 24, HUD (Part 280)] in the U.S.A. or C.S.A. Standard CAN/CGA Z240.4.2 in
Canada or, when such standards are not applicable with local codes.
The installation of ranges designed for recreational vehicle installation must
conform to state or other codes and in the absence of such codes with the
standard for recreational vehicles ANSI A119.2.2–1982 in the U.S.A. or CAN/CGA
Z240.4.2 in Canada. The installation of appliances designed for recreational park
trailers must conform to recreational park trailers, ANSI A119.5.
NOTE: Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Never use an open
ame to check for gas leaks. Use a soap solution with a recommended ratio of
75% water and 25% dish washing soap. It’s possible for connections made at the
factory to leak, due to vibration encountered in transportation. Make certain you
have checked them all, and repair any connections that leak.
